94:. There is almost no information about the heroes or why they got the reward. For example: "for the valiant service to the state and the society." is the only information we are given, leaving the reader with more questions than answers. The hero and reasons for the reward should be fleshed out if not bulked up to be FA level.
178:
I expanded the lead a bit, but I think the lead is fine now. As mentioned above, the bios have been beefed up, photos for all of the heroes have been located. Once again, I do agree this is a little known subject, but I want to have a good article about
Belarus. Though, if anyone wants to move this

and his deceaed sons, though we have found them elsewhere (BTW, we never apologized for those, either). I also sadly think that this might be one of very few articles about
Belarus-topics that mighe become featured. I state that since I find little Belarussian topics online, and most of it is from
116:
Ok, I lied. I found more information on all of the heroes. It will be good for this article, since I mainly want to discuss the title. If people want to start their own articles on each hero, then of course, we need more. However, I do have links to bios/obits/stuff about each hero. Checking the

I believe the article should be FA for various reasons. Though there has only been five people who have been decorated with the title, their heroism and service to their country serves as an example of the people who make
Belarus a great country. Though I do agree this award is no where near
103:
Not much information on the heroes can be found. I managed to find a small bio on few of them, but I just need to put it down. There are some people who I cannot find information on, so I will see if people who know the language can locate something.
143:. It looks rather short to me - from lead to main, which composes of many sections that would normaly be called stub sections. A good article, on a little known subject, but not not something I would judge as a FA quality. --

Russian. I admit that I had to use Babelfish on this page, and I know some translations and spellings are a bit spotty. But thanks for your support and I will wait and see what others have to say on it.

Thanks. I do agree that we, the United States, bash
Belarus because of voting issues, human rights abuses and also due to President Lukashenko's rule. We have even accused Belarus of providing passports and refuge to

The voting period is now over, and the article was promoted to
Featured Article Status on 24 May, 2005. I thank everyone for voting and raising any concerns, I could not make this article Featured without your help.

We can do that. Since this is a version many like, I can create a few stub articles about each hero. Once I do that, I will tag it with {{Belarus-stub}} so it can be expanded later on. Thanks for the support ALoan.
244:
That is my biggest concern is the translations. I know some words might be off, but I think everything should be clear now. Mainly, only exact quotes from law sources and the decrees have been translated.
45:
thoughout our culture, an amazing article with great photos and drawings (from me) is a shining example of what can be done with a stub, Babelfish and those who are knowledge of the local language.

The reason why the lead section is short is that there is only so much you can cover with a medal in the introduction. I tried to match my article to a FA that dealt with a medal subject:

62:, I think it's quite good. It's also good that we have such a quality and neutral article on a topic associated with a country that is often unfairly maligned in the West.

She was off doing something else, so I was able to drop in a quick line. I fixed up the Karvat line, so I went ahead and crossed out the caveat statement.

James, which sections do you think sound a bit
Babelfishish to you? I am trying to change some of the words now.
